About
Me and Marty, my mammalian model.
My name is Jennifer Rae Atkins. I live in Bernalillo, New Mexico, with my husband, Ted, and our two dogs, Marty and Minnie. I design museum exhibits for a living, which I love, and I also like reading, listening to music, playing board games, watching movies, and hanging out with my two-year-old niece, Rae.
A drawing in progress.
The Daily Mammal website is the record of a giant project: my attempt to draw every one of the 5,000 (or so) mammal species known to science. My goal is to draw one species a day, and at that rate, it would take me 14 years to finish. (So far, I have only managed far less than one drawing a day, so let’s add another year or two to that estimate…) Here on the site, you can follow my progress, read about mammals (or at least about the things that I find interesting about them), and look at my drawings.

Hi Lorena! and Chase! and thank you! I’m glad you like my drawings.
These drawings are actually quite amazing—they really capture something of each animals essence. What a talent you have! I plan on using your store to complete my Xmas list this year! Does Roots and Shoots (Jane Goodall’s organization) know about you? They should.
I love your drawings! I was just looking on the web looking for great drawings of a red panda and yours is the leader of the pack.Then I know for sure that I want to be an artist!I was writing a book with my friends’ called “Diffrent Then Other Families” and I had to know how to draw a red panda.I would love to know how to draw like you,andIwould love to know if you could get our book published. Ooh yeah I’m 10. You inspired me!
